I'll take 257, that's about par but we should have gotten a lot more than that.

Yeh u right. Pakistan batting missing fire power up the order. Really missing Sharjeel in this small grounds he would have murdered nzl bowlers. If i was sarfraz i would send fahim and Fakhr to go and have fun.

You think 240 is comfortable on this pitch? It's difficult for stroke players and has been impossible to accelerate on.

Below 260 isn't difficult these days - almost in every condition, you just need to bat out 50 overs. It's a smallish ground as well & PAK's tail is good. Only issue is top order might take it to 100/5 in 29 overs.

This was a mediocre batting performance from the Kiwis. No wonder they share the lower ranking with us.

Platform was set for last 10 overs to get 100 odd runs with plenty of wickets in the hand but NZ batsmen panicked. Their lack of lower order power hitting was also exposed. Kiwis top order is strong. They need to replace Latham. He is not good enough to bat in the last 15 overs.

Kiwi's have got enough. Can't see pakistan chasing this especially with out only batsman being Fakhar at the top and Faheem Shadab and Hassan in the lower order.

a 260 against Pakistan is more like 300 as our batsmen love to play dot dot dot and big shots.

Don't ever bring up Mohali. The amount that game angers me even to this day...

A small part of me died that day.... First we dropped that bona fifteen times and then Mr Tuk tuk handed the game to India... Fazul tareen batsman any sane country would have ended his pathetic career right there
